Gorzelanny to make first start for Cubs

Tom Gorzelanny’s last start in the Major Leagues was back on Sept. 10, 2008, when he was wearing Pittsburgh’s black and gold. It ended early because of an injury to the middle finger of his left hand, and he exited after 2 1/3 innings.

This year the left-hander pitched out of the bullpen for the Pirates in May and early June before returning to the rotation for Triple-A Indianapolis, where he was 4-3 with a 2.48 ERA in 15 starts.

On Tuesday he will trot to the mound at Great American Ball Park for the Cubs, making his first start since being acquired on July 30 in a five-player deal with the Pirates.
